Not in Favor of Complete Union

BANGOR, Me-, November 26.-Tne Ban
COR Commercial sent representatives to st.
John and other New Brunswick points
this week and interviewed many promi-
nent men there on the subject of COM
n ercial union, fisheries and other lead
ing questions. To-day the Commercial
prints the interviews on these topics.
The project for commercial union receives
the Endorsement of but one man of any
prominence. All express friendly feeling
toward the States, which they say exists
throughout the provinces, and all give their
views as to how trade with the States could
be increased. They look to a settlement
of the fishery dispute by the Commission,
and that very soon. There is no great
feeling in the Provinces for annexation,
but several think the people would very
readily favor it If it was bIoached in the
right manner. When asked in regard to
the project for the purchase of the Mari
time Provinces by the United States they
asserted that such a proposition would
not be considered by the people Of the
Domin ion for a moment. The people OF
the Dominion would accept such propo-
sition in the same spirit as would the
people of the United States in case the
Dominion government make an offer to
purchase the State of Maine.

however, was rather distressing sight.

Kmed HIS Brother and Sister

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, November 26.-In-
formation reached here last night of fear
full tragedy near Perida, on the Louisville
and Nashville railway. A half-witted boy
named Charley Baker had witnessed the
killing of the family meat. Having been
gone from the house some time, one morn
ing, with his brother and sister, aged re-
spectiveIy four and six, he came back
alone, his clothes covered with blood, and
told his mother he had killed them, show
ing a sharp butcher knife with which
he said he had done the work. Following
him to q spot in the woods near the slaugh-
ter-pen, the mother sure enough found
her younger son and daughter stretched
ON the ground in pool Of blood, both
with their tbroats cat. The girl was dead,
and the boy barely alive, While the fam
lily were attending them Charley disap-
peared sgain, and search being made for
him shortly afterwards, he was found a
few steps from the same spot dead, with
his jugulsr vein severed, evidently by his
own hand. The wounded boy is mending

New YORK, November 26.-The trunk
lines have authorized their Western con-
nections to meet the cuts in passenger
rates made by the Ohio and Mississippi
Railway from st. Louis to New York.
Vice. President Lauterback, of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, yesterday con-
frmed the published dispatches that at
the Chicago meeting of the trsns-conti-
mental lines a subsidy of S65, 900 a
month by the overland rail-
roads was granted TO the Steamship
Company. He said that it was practically
the best arrangement for the company
that had been made since the time of the
original subsidy of $110,O 600 month. 1t
WAS much better than the recent subsidy
of $85, 900, because the contract With the
Panama railroad had been modified so
that transportation across the Istbmus
left larger profit. OF course, the Steam
ship Company will not compete for the
higher classes of freight, and as in former
contracts the overland railroads guarantee
to use the steamship line for the carry
ing of heavy merchandise.

but outside these two points there is nothing
OF vagueness in regard 10 our fishery rights.
The Canadian commissioner should be alive
to this aspect of this case. He should ap-
preciste the informal character of the cOn-
ference, the lack Of authority on the part of
the American representatives, the clear rights
of Great Britain under the treaty of 1918,
and he ought to recognize that the United
States has everything TO gain and nothing to
lose by the deliberations. 1t is much as if
a stranger set up claim to a mans proper
